Jekyll

A contemporary take on Jekyll and Hyde. Jekyll is a gripping new six part series from the BBC that will have you on the edge of your seat. This critically acclaimed series screened locally on the ABC.

Dr. Tom Jackman (James Nesbitt: Murphy's Law; Bloody Sunday; Cold Feet) is trying to conceal a dark secret. He has left behind his beloved wife (Gina Bellman: Coupling) and twin sons, as well as his position at university without explanation, and hired a psychiatric nurse, Katherine Reimer (Michelle Ryan: Mansfield Park; EastEnders). Thetrouble is, at night, when he is ready for sleep, he receives an unwanted visitor - his alter-ego: the charming, playful and willfully violent, Mr. Hyde.

Determined to protect his family from Hyde, he searches for answers to his condition. As Hyde's visits become more and more frequent, seemingly brought on by stress and lust as well as sleep, his quest becomes all the more urgent.

But living a double-life is a tricky business, especially when your other half is as alluring as he is fearsome, producing a certain amount of fear and lust-driven loyalty from those who come to know him, which for Jackman brings about a dilemma ... who can he really trust? Jackman must remain focused if he is to prevent Hyde from taking over and from having blood on his hands.

Darkly humourous and frightfully compelling, Jekyll is an ingenious, unpredictable retelling of an age-old horror story. Masterfully written by award-winning writer Steve Moffat (Doctor Who; Coupling) the series' twists and turns will keep you guessing until its chilling conclusion."
